Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow Caledonian University procured external jet washing and surface cleaning services for a university campus. The work covers cleaning external surfaces and removing algae, moss, dirt, grime, chewing gum, staining and other biological growth. Its purpose is to improve the campus’s appearance, presentation, slip resistance and pedestrian safety, while reducing long-term deterioration of the surfaces. The service also requires work to be carried out with minimal disruption to university operations and with appropriate environmental and drainage controls. This is a services contract within repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000). The requirement is relevant to businesses providing commercial pressure washing, external surface cleaning and associated campus, estate or facilities-maintenance services.

The procurement has been awarded following a quick quote process. C and A Interiors was selected from two bids for the external jet washing and surface cleaning works. The award value is £24,908.60. The award is associated with an active contract. The buyer is Glasgow Caledonian University. The evaluation outcome reflects a completed competitive purchasing process rather than an invitation to submit a bid. The requirement was treated as a single service covering the university campus, with the specification focused on cleaning performance, safety improvement, protection of external surfaces, operational continuity, and environmental and drainage management. The award record does not provide a separate award date or contract duration, so the commercial outcome is the selected supplier and stated contract value.

For a supplier that did not win, this award identifies a defined market for planned external cleaning at a university campus. Credible competitors would need the equipment, trained operatives and practical experience to jet-wash and clean varied external surfaces, including areas affected by moss, algae, grime, staining, chewing gum and biological growth. They would also need to demonstrate safe working practices that improve pedestrian conditions without damaging surfaces, disrupting university activity or creating uncontrolled runoff. Experience of working on active education, public-sector or other large estates would help show that work can be coordinated around daily operations. Environmental controls, drainage protection, reliable site management and the capacity to complete a campus-wide service are central to competing for a comparable requirement from this buyer.
